We got somebody else commenting for us. I don't. [00:01:08] Speaker B: I don't think I want to be on that level. [00:01:09] Speaker A: I don't. [00:01:10] Speaker B: I like. I like returning it back. [00:01:11] Speaker A: Like, I like giving. [00:01:12] Speaker B: If you get a comment. Yeah, you get a. You know it came from. [00:01:14] Speaker A: Yeah, exactly. So you want to come after somebody? Come after me or thc. We ready. Speaking of coming after, I know you had these parents. What parents? The parents that they had this plethora. A list of things that they would either cuss you out, pluck you on the forehead, or chew you out about as a kid. And sometimes I thought they were making it up. Go ahead, Go ahead. [00:01:41] Speaker B: You got to say. [00:01:41] Speaker A: You got something to say. [00:01:43] Speaker B: Because what I was going to say is, if you're going to ask that question, I got to ask you, for what crime? Because there's a different one that goes hand in hand. [00:01:51] Speaker A: So I have a list, and I'm going to ask you, how did you get disciplined on this? So the options are, oh, so you're [00:01:58] Speaker B: gonna give me a crime that I would have committed as a kid? [00:02:01] Speaker A: Cause I know you. [00:02:02] Speaker B: What was my punishment? [00:02:03] Speaker A: Yeah, I feel like there's three options. You either got yelled at, got a Whooping, bruh. [00:02:07] Speaker B: I don't know if the podcast is [00:02:09] Speaker A: long enough yelled at, stared at, or got hands put on you. Those are the three options. I feel like we all got. [00:02:15] Speaker B: I'm gonna let y' all know. All three options. All three options are gonna be part of it always. Hell, yeah. [00:02:21] Speaker A: All right, go ahead. Let's just. Let's just hit it. Let's just hit it hard. Okay. [00:02:25] Speaker B: Start from the beginning. [00:02:26] Speaker A: Leaving the refrigerator. I'm gonna tell you right now, I don't know how parents could not be in the same room. Let me stop saying parents. How my mom could be in a different room and no. And just know. Cause I get that yell. Why you leave that fridge open? [00:02:42] Speaker B: You know what it is? I think it's the hum of the light bulb in the refrigerator that the minute it opens, it just gives off this certain frequency that makes every parent, mom or dad, just go, why is the fridge open? [00:02:55] Speaker A: Well. Cause I always felt like too. They. You always had to. I always had to ask to go to the fridge. So I think my mom had a clock in her head of, like, I know how long it should take him to open and shut that. And if I don't hear the shut, why you still left it open. [00:03:08] Speaker B: And you can. And the shut is. And the shut door is obvious because you hear, like, the ketchup and the. And the relish. [00:03:14] Speaker A: Oh, you hear the rattle. [00:03:15] Speaker B: You hear the rattle the minute the door closes. Like, okay, yeah, they shut it. If you don't hear that rattle, you're like, nope, it did. [00:03:21] Speaker A: They left it open. [00:03:21] Speaker B: See? And that was a smack in the head for me. [00:03:24] Speaker A: Got you. [00:03:24] Speaker B: So you're smacking the head. [00:03:25] Speaker A: So your parents was just nearby to just bow. Now, was it in the act or where they wait till, like, oh, finish. And you walking out to do something. [00:03:32] Speaker B: That was my problem. I was never finished. I was the kid that my dad said he would always. He was going to take a picture of what was in it and then hang that picture on the outside of the door. That way I didn't have to have the door open. [00:03:45] Speaker A: That's fair. Got it. So you. So you got smack. I got yelled at. There was a few times I got there, but that's if mom was in [00:03:51] Speaker B: range and it depended on who was smacking. If it was dad, it was just a smack in the back of the head. If it. It was mom, it was the wooden spoon because she was already in the kitchen. So it was like I was in her armory. That was her armory. [00:04:03] Speaker A: You gotta read the Room dog. You should have known. [00:04:05] Speaker B: It's just a reflex. When you open the door, you gotta go shelf to shelf. So, like, when you got the door open, you like. [00:04:12] Speaker A: I agree with you, but to a parent, you know, what you going in there for? [00:04:15] Speaker B: Yeah. The minute the door opens, my dad's clock started. Like, the minute it opened, it was like 10, 9, 8, 7. Oh, okay. [00:04:25] Speaker A: All right, let's go to the dinner table. Uh. Oh. Laughing or talking during blessing disrespect. Oh, bro, bro, I forgot the fourth option. I got. I got smacked, but I got yanked away from the table. Yanked away. [00:04:43] Speaker B: Okay, now when you say there's a. [00:04:45] Speaker A: There's. [00:04:45] Speaker B: There's. There's different kinds. Okay, Again, my dad was quiz. [00:04:49] Speaker A: This is why I love asking you these questions. [00:04:53] Speaker B: There's. Oh, yeah, there's layers. Like, like onions have layers. Ogres have layers. [00:04:58] Speaker A: Listen, this punishment got layers. [00:05:01] Speaker B: It's because of what the punishment, like, each. Each thing you did couldn't break the same punishment, or else you. You wouldn't be able to separate the crime. So you had to understand the difference for it. [00:05:11] Speaker A: So go ahead. [00:05:12] Speaker B: Okay. Okay. Now, if I laugh at the dinner table or talk at the dinner table, because you're not even supposed to talk. You're not supposed to. The only thing you're supposed to say is whether or not you can be excused from the table. [00:05:23] Speaker A: Yep. [00:05:23] Speaker B: So the only time you able to talk now, if you are talking and you start doing this, usually if my dad is sitting next to me, I get the nudge first. I get the elbow and the elbow. Boom. And I look over and look at him. And then I knew that. Correct yourself right now. [00:05:38] Speaker A: Right? [00:05:39] Speaker B: If I laugh during saying grace. Yeah, because we all had a way to say grace. We all folded our hands by our hands. [00:05:46] Speaker A: Now, every 80s and 90s kid, you did the same blessing. [00:05:49] Speaker B: My younger sister used to always try to get me. She knew if she did that little in the middle of the prayer, it would make us laugh. [00:05:56] Speaker A: Right. [00:05:57] Speaker B: If I laugh, that's when my mom's way my mom would sit to see you. Don't mess around with the prayer with mom, bro. [00:06:03] Speaker A: I don't know what it was about. The prayer was almost. I felt like my mom felt like I slapped her in the face if I laughed at her bro. [00:06:11] Speaker B: My mom's hands went from both hands folded to only one hand visible. And when you saying grace and you look over like, okay, why does my mom only have one hand? You done? Because the other hand is under the table, and that's when the pension starts and the pigeon starts right on the. Right on the thigh. And that's when she lets it, because she doesn't want it to be known that she's handling the discipline to everybody else there. [00:06:36] Speaker A: She wants me to know. [00:06:37] Speaker B: Oh, but it's funny how her one hand still stayed like she was still praying while she was handling business. [00:06:43] Speaker A: Multitask. She was. She was talking to God, and she also had to go take care of business. [00:06:47] Speaker B: And it didn't matter where you sat. [00:06:49] Speaker A: No. [00:06:49] Speaker B: You could have sat way on. I don't know how it worked. I don't know if that arm just grew, but she could reach you at any point of that table. It didn't matter where you was. [00:06:58] Speaker A: No, my mom never said. My mom wanted everybody to know he messed up and he about to go learn. I've literally, with my eyes closed, have been yanked, and I hear a chair slide out. [00:07:08] Speaker B: If she couldn't reach me, she would wait till the prayer was done, and then she'd be like, I need to see you. [00:07:12] Speaker A: Oh, that's even worse. That's even worse. [00:07:14] Speaker B: Everybody at the table knew. [00:07:15] Speaker A: Oh, yep, yep. [00:07:16] Speaker B: It's about to end it. [00:07:17] Speaker A: But that's when everybody else. Oh, everybody else act right. [00:07:20] Speaker B: Everybody else correct. Sean out. [00:07:24] Speaker A: All right, that's dinner time. We used. Every kid knows. We never did this on purpose. All the time slamming the door. Just pick. Just pick any door. But slamming the door. [00:07:38] Speaker B: You know, karma's a bitch. And I'm gonna tell you something. Every door that I slammed, from my mom and dad's door to where my dad had that, it was always a look. If I shut the door, it was the look first. [00:07:51] Speaker A: The look. [00:07:52] Speaker B: Boom. And they would come up and they would turn, and you just. Oh, I'm dead. Like, you just knew you was dead wherever you started. [00:07:57] Speaker A: It didn't matter. It could have been the garage door. It could be your bedroom door. It could be the car door. And sometimes I was a victim of. This is how I learned. Never have a garage door. Garage door open. [00:08:12] Speaker B: Yes. [00:08:13] Speaker A: And the screen door open because that creates a tunnel. So the door is going to get slammed. [00:08:18] Speaker B: Do you know how many times I've smashed my finger indoors because I was trying to get it from not slamming. [00:08:23] Speaker A: Oh, just. It was jam fingers was way better. Way better than getting. Way better than getting shoot out. [00:08:30] Speaker B: Way better. [00:08:30] Speaker A: You ever did it where you. When you do it and you just. You look back and you can't and you. [00:08:36] Speaker B: And you hear it. My dad would. If my dad. If my dad was around Something that he could throw. That's when something got thrown at me. But when it. My mom, she was different. She would say karma. She would say stuff like, she. Every time I did something to her, she would always. She was like, wait, whatever you do bad to me, your kid's gonna do to you ten times more. And I used to always be like, oh, yeah, whatever. [00:08:58] Speaker A: They were just slamming, like, it. [00:08:59] Speaker B: Let me tell you, it's 100 true. 100. My kids do it all the time, have been doing it. Slamming doors, slamming car doors, slamming the front door, Slamming whatever door could just bow. The refrigerator door. They slam the refrigerator door. [00:09:13] Speaker A: Refrigerator door. I don't know how you slam that. That's got a whole suction thing on it. [00:09:17] Speaker B: But I flipped the karma. I didn't know you could. But you can. [00:09:20] Speaker A: How can you flip the karma? [00:09:22] Speaker B: It was easy, cuz now my kids have cars and my kids have doors in their own houses. [00:09:27] Speaker A: Oh, so you just. Oh, yeah, you just around. [00:09:29] Speaker B: I get out. Yeah, I get out the car bow. I just look at them, and they look at me dead. And I'm like, what? [00:09:34] Speaker A: Oh, that's my other phone, apparently. [00:09:36] Speaker B: Oh, my. Set it back again. [00:09:39] Speaker A: Anytime. I slammed the door, I knew I was in trouble no matter where my mom was at in the house. You ever had that parent that there was a level of worse if they didn't say your name. When I got referred to as boy, oh, I knew I had no affiliations with my mom no more. [00:09:59] Speaker B: They take you out of your whole growing up period and they put you right back to, like, pupa stage. You just like, damn. [00:10:05] Speaker A: There was the. Excuse me. Come again? Yes, Isaiah boy. And I was like, man, I'm just. Just a random now. My. [00:10:13] Speaker B: My mind was if my mom got my full name out, if she got my full name out, I knew I [00:10:18] Speaker A: was like, if she was way worse than I would take my full name over boy any day. Because boy meant like there was. There was going to be no remorse. [00:10:26] Speaker B: Just my middle name is 18 letters. Just one of my names is. [00:10:30] Speaker A: You got a long name. [00:10:31] Speaker B: That's what I'm saying. So I knew exactly how much trouble I was in if my mama got my full name out. Yeah, like, if she had to yell it. I was like, yep, that's it. I'm dead. [00:10:40] Speaker A: If I had it as long as you. If my mom. If my mom referred to me as boy, that there was zero mistakes. [00:10:46] Speaker B: That means she had, like, oh, I was disowned. Yeah. Right. At that point, every. [00:10:51] Speaker A: Any. [00:10:52] Speaker B: Any type of empathy she had left. [00:10:54] Speaker A: Gone. When I slammed that door, all that empathy was behind that door, and I can't unlock it and get it back. [00:11:01] Speaker B: I used to hate accidentally slamming the door. And, like, even my grandpa, my uncles, [00:11:05] Speaker A: and they're all in there. [00:11:06] Speaker B: And it's so funny. That bow. And they all give me the same look, like, yeah, they've been there, or it's new. [00:11:12] Speaker A: Some of my uncles would tempt my mom and be like, oh, we got a grown man around here, huh? He paying bills. I'm like, shut up. [00:11:19] Speaker B: Oh, yeah, yeah, shut up. Don't turn it on. His whole. He growing up now. Yeah. I hate that. He's slamming doors. Next thing you know, he gonna be wet. [00:11:27] Speaker A: No, it wasn't all that. Don't know. Don't put me on blast like that. All right, here's one. [00:11:33] Speaker B: Okay. [00:11:34] Speaker A: Running in and out the house. [00:11:35] Speaker B: Nope, bro, I got tripped. I got tripped on purpose. My mom would throw shit at my feet. Stop running in the house. You know how many times I heard, stop running in the house. Oh, you can't. We turned it into games. That's where. Games. I don't know if you ever played, you know, don't step on the carpet because it was lava. [00:11:52] Speaker A: Oh, yeah. [00:11:53] Speaker B: Don't play on lava. That's. That's where running in the house came from. [00:11:56] Speaker A: Lava. The lava game is. You know, it could be played anywhere. [00:11:59] Speaker B: Anywhere. But you had to have pillows. Pillows was the only way you can land on the carpet without getting burnt by the lava. Yeah, but that's what running in the house came from. And we were using furniture. We was using everything. Running in the house. Running the house led to tripping. That was the punishment because. And then my mom would turn it into. See, you wasn't paying attention. That's it. [00:12:16] Speaker A: That's. [00:12:17] Speaker B: That's what happens when you ain't paying attention and you running in the house. [00:12:21] Speaker A: Yes. [00:12:22] Speaker B: Yes. She was like, that's what happens when you win that. And it's like, no, that's what happens when you stick your foot out in front of me. [00:12:27] Speaker A: You know, if my mom was here or if she could be on the podcast, because I have no recall of ever running in the house. That's. That's how damaging I know my ass whooping was. I don't recall running in the house. I'm sure I did, but something happened. [00:12:43] Speaker B: Dude, as much. As much football as you played, I'm just saying there's no way you didn't run in the house at least once. [00:12:49] Speaker A: But I do not recall running in the house. Like, that's like. It got so taken out of me. [00:12:55] Speaker B: I don't know, bro. I think. I think you was running for your life so fast in the house that she was actually, like, going into your own time warp. Like the Flash, bro. It's not even a memory. [00:13:07] Speaker A: I just. I just. You know how some things are just automatic. I just feel like I know this isn't true. It's almost as if I was born and just knew to not run in the house. That's how much non memory I have of running in that house. [00:13:18] Speaker B: Nah, you had to have a fear of not running in the house. [00:13:20] Speaker A: That's what I'm saying. [00:13:21] Speaker B: Something had to put it in you. [00:13:22] Speaker A: That's. That's how much fear I got. [00:13:23] Speaker B: Whatever scared you scared the whole memory out of you. [00:13:26] Speaker A: Oh, I got no memory. [00:13:27] Speaker B: Yo. Not only did you get punished for running in the house, they said you ain't never going to remember this. [00:13:32] Speaker A: I don't. I'm sitting here and it's like, I don't think I ever ran the house. I know. Goodness. Well, I did. I know I did. [00:13:38] Speaker B: Yeah, but what's funny is you can't remember if you ever did. [00:13:42] Speaker A: But I know not to. [00:13:44] Speaker B: But you know not to. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. [00:13:46] Speaker A: That's. [00:13:46] Speaker B: That's blowing my mind right now, bro. [00:13:47] Speaker A: That's. [00:13:48] Speaker B: That's blowing my mind. [00:13:49] Speaker A: That's how much damage got done, dog. [00:13:51] Speaker B: It's like we couldn't even talk you in. You could do it. [00:13:53] Speaker A: I know. [00:13:53] Speaker B: I can't. Why you can't? I don't know why I can't. I just know I can't, bro. [00:13:58] Speaker A: It got. I. I literally am sitting here. [00:14:01] Speaker B: Like, whatever it was worked. Whatever it was. [00:14:04] Speaker A: You went like. You remember getting tripped. I don't remember my punishment of running. [00:14:08] Speaker B: I do. I remember it, bro. [00:14:10] Speaker A: Said you got beat up so bad about it, you can't even. [00:14:14] Speaker B: Yep, yep, yep. You can't even remember. They beat the whole memory out. [00:14:17] Speaker A: You did. [00:14:18] Speaker B: They beat. The whole memory got beat out. You. You was like. You went to school the next day. They was like, where'd you get them? I don't even know. I can't even remember you. What did you do? I didn't. I didn't do nothing. [00:14:30] Speaker A: I walked in the house, I had dinner, and then I just went to bed. [00:14:33] Speaker B: Hey, we gonna run. Are you all in the house? Cause if you guys are in the house, I can't do it, bro. [00:14:38] Speaker A: I'm telling you, it's. Yeah, I don't know. I don't know what punishment, but I just know not to do it. [00:14:42] Speaker B: That's crazy. [00:14:44] Speaker A: That's some parenting discipline level right there. [00:14:46] Speaker B: Yeah, but how do you even implant that? [00:14:49] Speaker A: I asked my. Ask my parents and ask my grandma. Because I. I'm telling you, bro, I don't have a recal elation. I made that word up. [00:14:58] Speaker B: A recall. A recall. A recallization. [00:15:00] Speaker A: Yeah. Made it up. All right, here's another one. Not drinking all the drink you asked for. [00:15:07] Speaker B: Oh, that you asked for. [00:15:09] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:15:09] Speaker B: Not that you was given, but what you asked for. [00:15:11] Speaker A: Yeah. Remember you ever did the whole, like, I'm gonna get a cup of this. [00:15:14] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:15:15] Speaker A: And it's like, okay. [00:15:16] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:15:16] Speaker A: And if anything was left at the bottom. No, no, finish that. [00:15:20] Speaker B: Yeah, you had to. You had to finish the milk on the bottom of your cereal. Yes, that. That milk. That milk couldn't stay there. [00:15:26] Speaker A: No, you could. [00:15:26] Speaker B: And you couldn't dump it out either. [00:15:29] Speaker A: How did. I never understood again, parents, how do you all have ears out of nowhere? Mom not in the kitchen, knows how much milk I poured, knew how much cereal, and also knew how long it should take me. And be like, you better not be going to pour that down the sink. How do you know this? [00:15:49] Speaker B: Because I don't know how. You know what? Because they stay close to that. They stay close. I just knew it didn't matter. I could have a whole bunch of milk. I could have just a little bit of milk. All of it better. [00:16:01] Speaker A: No, no. It better be gone. [00:16:02] Speaker B: And. And I don't know about you, but if I had. If I had a lot of milk left, I'd pour another half a bowl of cereal. [00:16:08] Speaker A: Oh, yeah. [00:16:09] Speaker B: I don't. But I don't know who else does that. Cause I ain't seen my kids do that. Most of the time I was yelling at my kids. Cause they was dumping their milk. I was like, what are you doing? I'm dumping this, dad. Ain't no more cereal left. [00:16:18] Speaker A: No, I used to put more cereal. Cause I was not gonna get that whooping of pouring milk. Orange juice, Kool Aid. Didn't matter what it was. [00:16:26] Speaker B: I liked it with Cocoa Puffs. Cause if I did have milk left over, it was chocolate milk. And I was putting. Yeah. And I was like, I was gonna put more Cocoa Puffs in it. [00:16:34] Speaker A: Yep. Yeah. But no, my parents. There was no wasting nothing. [00:16:38] Speaker B: No. [00:16:38] Speaker A: I think that's why, now that I think about it. Cause my wife is always asking me, like, why are you scraping plates clean? [00:16:43] Speaker B: It's like, cause I had bro that's one of the reasons why I liked the movie Friday. Cause when he's sitting there with it, and he was like, you better put some water on that shit. You don't waste that cereal. [00:16:52] Speaker A: You don't water. You better. [00:16:53] Speaker B: But put some water on that. [00:16:55] Speaker A: Talking right now made me realize that's why I do not recall ever going to the trash can to scrape food off of my plate. No. The only way I did that is because it was, like, chicken bones or, like, the bone of a T bone steak or the bones of ribs or the shrimp. [00:17:11] Speaker B: Bones don't count. [00:17:12] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:17:12] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:17:13] Speaker A: That's it, though. [00:17:14] Speaker B: Edible. [00:17:14] Speaker A: Yeah, that's it, though. I didn't go because I had three scoops of Mac and cheese and two scoops of mashed potatoes left, and I just got full. Nope. That's what you asked for. [00:17:23] Speaker B: Yeah. You better finish your plate. You finish that. You finish your plate. You finish your bowl. You finish your glass clean, too. Yeah. [00:17:28] Speaker A: The definition of lick the plate clean was a thing in my house. [00:17:32] Speaker B: We used to scrape it. That's why we had so much bread. Like, we would even have a slice of bread or a roll, and that was pretty much just clean the plate when you was done. [00:17:39] Speaker A: Did your mom used to have that saying, scrape it cleaner to the point. Like, you should be able to put it straight in the dishwasher? Even though we never use the freaking dishwasher. [00:17:46] Speaker B: We. We. We used to wash. My mom used to make us wash dishes and then put them in the dishwasher. And I was like, what are we doing? Why can't we just. When we don't. We washing. Dizzy. Okay, now dry them up. Put them away. Now. What do we. Why are we putting them in the dishwasher? [00:17:58] Speaker A: Oh, this one gonna get you. I. This one. I. I knew. Oh, saying what? Or. Huh, Bro. Deaf death. That's option five. I lied to y'. [00:18:15] Speaker B: All. [00:18:15] Speaker A: There's five options. That was deaf. There was no turning back. [00:18:24] Speaker B: This one hits hard for me. This one hits hard for me. 1. I never said it to my mother. I think I said it one time to my father, and I was. Because I was pissed. I was mad. I think we was at a baseball game or something like that. I was. I was playing, and my dad. My dad had said something to me, and I remember just going. And I. And I think the only reason why I said it was because I didn't know it was my dad. I thought it was. I just. I didn't. It didn't sound like my dad for a second. And and he said. And I turned, I said, what did you. I said, what? Like that? And he just. It's like the world stopped around me. [00:18:57] Speaker A: Everything closed up. [00:18:59] Speaker B: The birds stopped flying, the sun just stopped rotating. And the only thing that was moving was my father towards me with this look on his face. Like when your dad doesn't blink and he's walking straight towards you, you just like, okay, I'm. Yeah, the birds, even the like. But everything stopped like that. But it, it, it trans. It. It's almost like Armageddon. It's almost like Armageddon for a 15, 16 year old. [00:19:29] Speaker A: Scary. [00:19:30] Speaker B: It's. It's the scariest because you don't know which. Because at that point, like, you know, if you do a crime, you get so much, you get. You get charged, right? You go, you. Oh, you might get five years for this. You might get 30 years for this. You might get life for this, right? Like that day when I said what to my father, it was like, yo, this could go all the way to death row right now. [00:19:51] Speaker A: I am laughing. You can't. You can only experience it if you had it and had to take all whatever came with it. And that's the thing. The punishment for any person and any parent was different. Yeah, it just, it was impactful. That's about the most common denominator you got about that. [00:20:10] Speaker B: You know what's crazy is it passes on. Cause I got kids and my kids, I could catch them in the middle of right when they get to the W. Who are you talking to? Like, that doesn't. [00:20:23] Speaker A: I' ma save you. None of my kids finish. [00:20:25] Speaker B: I got kids. My oldest is. Is 30, was 90. Born 1995. What is that? 31. He's 31 years old. 31 years old to this day. He still says, yes, dad. [00:20:34] Speaker A: Oh, yes. [00:20:35] Speaker B: But it's funny, some people I see out there, I don't know, they calling their dad by their names and all that. I'm like, no way. [00:20:43] Speaker A: I said what to my mom one time. I have never seen. My mom was ready to fight me street, fight me. I'm talking. She looked at me, my mom, same complexion as you, 5 4. And just laughed and smiled at me and put her hand up. And I was like, she bought. Ready to fight me for. [00:21:10] Speaker B: Okay, now play this out. What did you say? What to. So I like when she asked you, you just what? [00:21:18] Speaker A: Yes. I came in the house and she was like, isaiah, I need your help with this. And I was like, come again? And she was like, boy, did you hear me? And I was like, what? Oh, she's. [00:21:28] Speaker B: Yeah, okay, okay, okay, okay, bro. [00:21:30] Speaker A: Oh, and see, I should have caught the red flag. She was already hot. Whatever happened during the day, she was already hot. And I set it off. I ain't had no. [00:21:41] Speaker B: This is near the end of the day. [00:21:43] Speaker A: Yeah, I was coming from football practice and so I got dropped off and yeah, I came in the house. I think she wanted me to help with laundry or something. And she was, she was in the laundry room. I really couldn't hear. [00:21:54] Speaker B: So the what? So the what came off. How do it again? [00:21:58] Speaker A: She was like, I need you. I was like, come again? She was like, boy, you heard me. [00:22:00] Speaker B: I was like, what? [00:22:01] Speaker A: Okay, yeah. And I even made the face and I immediately straightened out because I, I just. You know how you hear clutter and then you just hear quiet? And I was like, I don't know which angle she coming from. Cause in our house, when you walk through the front door, it had a center wall. But she could have came from the dining room or the living room area, bro. [00:22:21] Speaker B: She could have came straight at you, left you in your face as she approached. You ain't going nowhere. [00:22:26] Speaker A: I was prepared to have to defend myself, to not die. And by defend, like curl up in the ball and like, just pray that she got tired. She came around the corner, dog just looked me in my face and said, what did you say? And I went to apologize. And I was like, ma. She's like, uh, uh, see, say it again. [00:22:48] Speaker B: When they, when the parents. Oh, no. Oh, no, no. Oh, and it gets quieter, don't it? When you go, oh. [00:22:54] Speaker A: And then she was like, I'm waiting. [00:22:56] Speaker B: I'm sitting there. [00:22:56] Speaker A: Like, I. Do I follow directions or do I not? Because either way I'm toast. [00:23:02] Speaker B: Yeah. Yeah. [00:23:03] Speaker A: And I think I said it. I was like, I said, well, she said, no, no, no, no. [00:23:06] Speaker B: Say, say you said it. No. And then look me in my eyes the way you look, bro, I, I, bro, what I can. What I can envision that's spookier than me looking at my dad coming at me. And I'm wearing catcher gear, so I may at least. Yeah, I still feel more. [00:23:29] Speaker A: I had nothing on. I had some slides when you are cut off shirt and some shorts. [00:23:34] Speaker B: When your mom asked you to repeat it the same way you said it. [00:23:38] Speaker A: You right there and it's two feet away from me. [00:23:41] Speaker B: You should have been like, yeah, you should. I need to, I need to find a size coffin today. [00:23:46] Speaker A: I. That's all it took was that one time. Never again. There was Times I've. I know what myself. [00:23:53] Speaker B: You know what? You probably said it more time, but then they did that same thing to you where you can't remember and they beat your ass. [00:23:59] Speaker A: She might have. I do remember sometimes I'd be like. And she'd be like, what was that? Like, nothing. I just break. I'll breathe heavy. [00:24:06] Speaker B: That's the same one that made you forget that. Same one that made for sure that you don't run in the house is the same one that came in, bro. [00:24:13] Speaker A: It was. Oh, saying what? No. [00:24:16] Speaker B: Who? [00:24:17] Speaker A: Oh, don't. And they don't say what to grandma? You just forget it. Just forget it. [00:24:21] Speaker B: You might as well leave the family. [00:24:22] Speaker A: My mom almost got in trouble. [00:24:23] Speaker B: You might as well leave the family. You say what to grandma? [00:24:26] Speaker A: My not my mom. My uncle almost got in trouble because his kid said what to my grandma. Grandma gave my cousin the ass whooping and gave my uncle an ass whooping. [00:24:37] Speaker B: Yep. [00:24:37] Speaker A: Both just went down the line em up. Line them up. And I think my mom. That's what happened. My mom was trying to defend her brother and grandma. Grandma wasn't having it that day. [00:24:48] Speaker B: I'm gonna be honest, man, Ain't too many ass whoopings getting handed out anymore, dog. And this is a lot of changes in our society because of that. That's all I'm saying. [00:24:58] Speaker A: Nobody. [00:24:59] Speaker B: You get in the comments and get all mad. I'm just saying that since all this ass whooping has been eliminated, it's like we've got a lot of changes happening in our society. [00:25:09] Speaker A: When I say, when I saw my mom get a whooping, I was like, ain't nobody safe. [00:25:13] Speaker B: You ever have. You ever have your mom get a whoop and look at you like, what? I'm. I'm here just like you. Yeah. [00:25:18] Speaker A: Like, oh, that was me two weeks ago. [00:25:21] Speaker B: Or I'm here because of you. Yeah. [00:25:23] Speaker A: It's like, I didn't do nothing. You ever had your parents try to tell you to like not do something and grandma ask, and it's like, oh, yeah, sorry, dog. I knew. Oh, yep. No, sir. Mom, you, I love you, but grandma, Grandma Katie got all the power. [00:25:38] Speaker B: And then you know too, because your mom or your dad are looking. Come on, come on. It's like, nah, see, come on. That's his that got your ass whooped when you was a kid and you trying to pull me into it right [00:25:48] Speaker A: now because grandma ain't gonna care either. Oh, Sitting too close to the tv. [00:25:55] Speaker B: Oh my goodness. Oh my goodness. [00:25:57] Speaker A: I used to get dragged across the Carpet, bro. [00:26:00] Speaker B: I used to get pushed closer. I used to get put. I swear, my dad was like, you. You can't see. You can't see here. And it. [00:26:07] Speaker A: Push. [00:26:07] Speaker B: It push me? No, no. I sit right there, and I got. I got, like. I got the Brady Bunch right here in the front, and I'm just sitting there looking at it. Probably why things are blurry now when I'm right here. [00:26:17] Speaker A: Nah, I got dragged just out of nowhere. I got the one and, like, scoot back, and then I do that little inch. Next thing you know, I get dragged behind the couch. [00:26:26] Speaker B: Yep. [00:26:26] Speaker A: Now see who you can see. Yep. Well, why we got to take it that far? So I got drugged. You said I got pushed closer. [00:26:32] Speaker B: I got pushed closer, bro. Can you see? Can you see what's wrong with your eyes? Right? I take you to the doctors. Like, everything had to go to the doctor. I don't know why that was, too. It was like every type of little. Little thing like that. It was always like, if I was sitting too close to the tv, it'd be like, what's the matter? You need to go get some glasses. That's what's wrong with you. And it was like, nah. [00:26:47] Speaker A: Why? [00:26:48] Speaker B: I just wanted to watch. Like, I just. I just wanted it. When you got to be. You want to get close here, get closer. [00:26:52] Speaker A: Get closer up on it. I want to see the action. All right, here's my. Here's my last one. This list was 30 deep, by the way. We wasn't going to cover all of them. Okay, but this one, though, touching the thermostat. [00:27:06] Speaker B: Nope, nope. [00:27:07] Speaker A: That's another one I don't push. Recall ever touching that thing, bro. [00:27:10] Speaker B: I didn't even know how to work one till I had my own place. How about that? I didn't know how to work my own thermostat until I was in my own place. That's how much I don't. You don't touch thermostat. You don't even look like my dad. My dad had this thing. He was like, this is the thermostat. Cool. That's all you need to know. You don't need to know how the dial moves. You don't need to understand the timer. You just need to know that that's a thermostat, and that's all you need to know. Don't touch. I didn't. I. I didn't mess with one till I had my own place. When I got my own place, I learned I. I was at my own thermostat. I was sitting there like, damn, that. Oh, okay. That's how this. Go up. Let's go down. Oh. Didn't even know that's how bad it was. That's how bad it was. You don't. Can't even look at the thermostat. My dad knew if I looked at. Why you looking at it? Just seeing what temperature was on. You don't even know what temperature's on. No, he didn't, because if he taught me, then that means I'm gonna be playing with it. That's why. That's why. That's why he didn't show me. [00:28:09] Speaker A: He said, it's the thermostat. [00:28:11] Speaker B: Keep it moving. That's all. That's for real. That's. He's like, don't reach up for this stuff. Don't. Don't look up. Don't look up. Don't nothing. Yo, when you get your own, you'll figure this out. That's what. That's what he said. You get your own, you'll figure that shit out. Thanks, dad. [00:28:29] Speaker A: Dawg, why do I feel like, you know, like, when they give you a tour in the house, they explain everything. [00:28:34] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:28:35] Speaker A: Your dad was like, all right, son, this is how you get in the room. [00:28:38] Speaker B: If it's locked, there's a doorknob, there's a lock. [00:28:40] Speaker A: This is how you do the microwave thermostat. [00:28:43] Speaker B: Keep going, keep going. Don't stop. Nah, you didn't even have time to [00:28:48] Speaker A: point it for me there. [00:28:49] Speaker B: And you know how bad it is for an ADD kid to look at a little box that got all these numbers and shit on there? It's got numbers and dials. It's got a little thing that moves back and forth. And when I grew up, that had a little bubble mercury or whatever that was. [00:29:01] Speaker A: I remember those. [00:29:02] Speaker B: And I. That made me want to touch the thing even more. [00:29:05] Speaker A: And I didn't know till I got my house. Yep. [00:29:08] Speaker B: I didn't even know how a thermostat worked till I got my own. [00:29:10] Speaker A: Oh, my God. [00:29:11] Speaker B: Thanks, dad. [00:29:12] Speaker A: Hit the. Like, I can't make a list. Stuff that y' all had to grow that you got. [00:29:21] Speaker B: Y'. [00:29:21] Speaker A: All. Whoop, man, I'm out, dog. Time stamp.
